CBS News editor-in-chief argues in memo that network’s priority was ‘comprehensive and fair’ coverage
In the memo sent to staff on Christmas Eve, Weiss said news organizations needed to do more to win back the trust of the American public and vowed that “no amount of outrage” would “derail us”.
“We are not out to score points with one side of the political spectrum or to win followers on social media,” according to the memo, signed by Weiss and other CBS News leadership and published in full by several media outlets. “We are out to inform the American public and to get the story right.”
The internal battle over the story exploded into public view after CBS announced the segment would not be a part of the show, despite extensive promotion. Weiss’s last-minute decision to hold the episode sparked outrage and charges of censorship amid Donald Trump’s second administration, though some conservative commentators generally aligned with the president have defended the move. In a private email sent to 60 Minutes correspondents that was subsequently made public, CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who spent weeks reporting the episode, called the decision a “political one”.
So she’s not a centrist if she is looking to cover up the crimes of the current administration.
Take a look at her history. She isn’t a centrist. She isn’t a real journalist. She hasn’t had success in any of her ventures. But she will cover up whatever the f*** the government asks.
“Daddy trump told me to.”
How are you informing by pulling good information?
You have exactly the information the government wanted to provide.
Friendly reminder that their bullshit excuse of not getting a comment from the White House is completely irrelevant. Respectable journalist outfits request comment but if declined or ignored, they proceed anyway.
That would otherwise suggest a corrupt White House could tank any story they disliked by just refusing to comment. Connect the touching dots.
Your ladder point is critical with a sycophant. She is going to kill any story if the White House is not willing to discuss it.
Here are the two most important sentences from the entire article:
Weiss has said she was concerned about the episode airing without a sufficient response from the Trump administration.
“If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient,” Alfonsi wrote.
I don’t see any specific defense in her argument. No mention of anything in particular the episode might have gotten wrong.
I didn’t expect anything of substance but I do like happy surprises. Sadly, I am not amused.
she should fear for her safety the rest of her hopefully short life.
Say it with me, everybody!
Get fucked, fascist!
Nothing says “comprehensive” like less information.
Nothing says “fair” like being indefinitely detained in a foreign prison without trial.
Lying, fascist loving sycophant.
